The Highlighter That No-One Told You About

Happy Monday my loves! and Happy New Year! I'm kicking off my first post of 2017 by letting you in on an absolute gem of a product I have discovered, and I am obsessed with!

In case you didn't know, I'm highlighter crazy. The brighter the glow, the more I love it. Which is why I'm baffled as to why I didn't try this product as a highlighter sooner. But I'm glad I did.

I've been working for Laura Mercier Cosmetics since September and I've discovered so many amazing products whilst working there. The Laura Mercier Loose Mineral Illuminating Powder in shade Starlight is one of them. It was only by chance one day that I swatched a bit of product on the back of my hand at work and then something clicked in my mind - this would be an amazing highlighter!

So of course I put it to the test and got my highlight on. I fell in love and had to buy it that day. I've been using it everyday since. It's a beautiful champagne gold and it is absolutely beaming when applied to the highest points of your face.

The Illuminating Powder retails at £26 and also comes in the shade Candlelight also which is more pink-toned. There is 9.6g of product which is more than most pressed highlighters - I can see this lasting me a while.

I've been applying it using the Morphe M509 brush which is my current favourite brush for highlight.

I'm so glad I made this discovery and I can't believe I didn't make it sooner. Will you be picking up this product? Let me know what highlighters you are currently obsessed with in the comments! See you soon!
